LET the DRUMS ROLL Preface: Abstracts Biographical Sketches of the Soldiers
LET THE DRUMS ROLL Preface: Abstracts Biographical Sketches of the Soldiers Source: Let the Drums Roll: Veterans and Patriots of the Revolutionary War Who Settled in Maury County, Tennessee by Marise Parrish Lightfoot – Bicentennial Publication of The Maury County Historical Society. (Shown here are just abstracts of the stories in this book, refer to the book to obtain the full biographical sketch of a particular person)….. PREFACE: pg. 5 Thirteen years ago Evelyn Bullock Shackleford and I began a project of locating and listing tombstones from abandoned graveyards in Maury County. During the course of this project we found the graves of several veterans of the American Revolution whose names were not listed on the plaque in the U. S. Courthouse and Post Office Building in Columbia, Tennessee, which was dedicated to the memory of “Those Revolutionary Soldiers Buried in Maury County.” I then decided to try to collect as data as possible on these veterans and to try to located the names of other veterans who may have lived in Maury County, but who may have been buried in unmarked graves or may have moved away from the county before they died. This book is, therefore, the result of what began as a hobby. I did not work on the project in any systematic manner until 1971, when I compiled the data I had collected into a paper which was presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in History at Middle Tennessee State University. The most valuable source of information on the veterans of the American Revolution is the material contained in the applications the men filled out in order that they might obtain pensions based on their service. -
Sources for the American Revolution at the South Carolina Department of Archives and History
SOURCES FOR THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AT THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY Compiled by Charles H. Lesser © 2000 South Carolina Department of Archives and History SOURCES FOR THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION SOURCES FOR THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AT THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY Compiled by Charles H. Lesser he fall of Charleston to the British on May , , was the worst defeat of Tthe entire American Revolution. South Carolina was overrun. It is not, therefore, surprising that many basic records for that period in the state’s history, even some of the legislative journals, did not survive the war. But South Carolin- ians and their Department of Archives and History have long had a special inter- est in the American Revolution. The department has published many of its surviving records documenting the war and has amassed a remarkable collection of copies of research materials housed elsewhere. This guide is intended as a summary annotated checklist to these materials. In addition to the state and local government records in its own holdings, the department has a large collection of microfilm of records relating to the Ameri- can Revolution from the National Archives, the British Public Record Office, the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, and other repositories. The department also has sig- nificant holdings of printed primary sources for the war. The largest bulk of these materials, nearly , microfilm reels, comes from the National Archives. Howard H. Wehmann, Compiler, A Guide to Pre-federal Records in the National Archives (Washington, D. -

Notes About Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas
Notes about Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Copyright © 2000–2009 by William Lee Anderson III. All rights reserved. Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Introduction During the 1700s many Scotch-Irish and German immigrants arrived in America. They and their children settled parts of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Today, most of their descendants never think about their heritage. Most live in the present, are working on real-life problems, or planning their future. That attitude was shared by their ancestor immigrants 250 years ago. Nonetheless, I suspect most descendants have at least wondered what the word Scotch-Irish means. All my life, I have heard various facts, but never understood how they fit together. Some facts appeared contradictory. So, I investigated, and discovered a colorful story that far exceeded my expectations. My principal objectives were to: Understand certain comments made by grandparents and other relatives over 40 years ago. Understand the confusing adjective Scotch-Irish. Understand the confusing cultural icons of bagpipes, kilts, Celtic whistles, etc. Understand the history of Moravian, Lutheran, Mennonite, Amish, Dunkards, Presbyterian, Puritanism, Huguenot, Quaker, Methodist, Congregational, and Baptist denominations that have churches in the Carolinas. Understand why and when surnames became common. Understand ancestor Margaret Moore‘s recollections of the Siege of Londonderry in 1689. Understand motivations of Scotch-Irish and German immigrants during the 1700s and terms of their Carolina land grants. Understand relations between early Carolina immigrants and Native Americans. Understand why Scotland‘s heroine Flora Macdonald came to live in North Carolina in 1774. -
